Description
A High Mortality of Doves by Kate Ellis is a gripping mystery set in the aftermath of World War I. In the Derbyshire village of Wenfield, the brutal murder of a young girl shatters the fragile peace that has settled over the community. The victim, Myrtle Bligh, was a volunteer nurse who worked at Tarnhey Court, where two more women are later found murdered in identical circumstances. As Inspector Albert Lincoln investigates the three recent murders, he uncovers a web of secrets and hidden lives among the village's residents, including those working at Tarnhey Court. The villagers are gripped by fear as they try to make sense of the killings, which seem to be linked to an eerie figure spotted near the crime scenes - a ghostly soldier with a painted face. With tensions running high and the killer still on the loose, Wenfield is plunged into a state of panic. Can Inspector Lincoln unravel the tangled threads of the mystery before the next victim falls?
